9. As long as people are allowed to spend their money as they wish
and they have a growing supply of money, the consumption of meat will increase. Coulds and shoulds will play very little part in this situation unless governments step in to regulate peoples' diets. They won't do that unless they have no other choice - the political consequences would be too severe for their taste.

The only thing that will drive large numbers of people away from meat is cost. Industrial-scale meat production is the inevitable byproduct of an unregulated growth economy.
